Barberific Day

[Brett]

Got out for a short hunt today... found everything within the first 30 minutes and gridding commenced for another 1.5 hours without any additional keepers. It's amazing that I found a Barber where I did... I wasn't getting crap for signals and then I got this HARD dime signal that could have easily been a quarter IMO. It was coming up as 12-46 at 8" deep. It turned out to be just the one barber at maybe 5-6" under the surface. I saw it was a dime and was stoked... then when I broke off the dirt and saw a 1901 Barber I was like "what whAT WHAT!!??" I look up and my Dad was right there about 20 feet from me, he had just joined me after hunting all afternoon at a different location. That was awexome because he got to see me break the dirt off the back... I left my house today thinking I might nab a wheatie or two... but never though I would get a Barber. I nabbed a 1912 and 1951d wheatie as well, both also about 6" deep.



Thanks for lookin'!

WTG, Brett!!!

Sometimes when you least expect it, there they are! That's one of the fun things about doing this.

That Barber looks good!!

WTG on that Barber Brett! Seeing that come up so close to home is unbelievable.
What a rush that was when the 2 silvers and the '12 wheat came out in that small area. Another cool thing was the cut tree stump there. Someone had taken the time to count the rings and record the dates in permanent marker, by decades. From year 2000 to 1870, too cool!

Thanks guys! I went back to this site today and the only old thing I found was a pull tab can lid at 4". Bah... left there and hit a place that's always given up something recently... and grabbed two wheaties. One is really worn... going to have to check it out when I get a chance and see if it was anything good.
